Mandate
How we invest your moneyThe Fund seeks to track the return of the FTSE Developed Core Infrastructure Index (with net dividends reinvested), in Australian dollars, before taking into account fees, expenses and tax. The index comprises securities in developed countries, which provide exposure to transportation, energy and telecommunications infrastructure. The Fund will be fully exposed to the fluctuating values of foreign currencies, as there will not be any hedging of foreign currencies to the Australian dollar. The Fund will hold all of the securities in the index most of the time, allowing individual security weightings to vary marginally from the index from time to time. The Fund may invest in futures and securities that have been removed from or are expected to be included in the index. The Fund may engage in securities lending. Securities lending is a common practice where holders of securities make short term loans of shares in return for a fee, to incrementally increase returns to investors. Strategic asset allocation*
*This is a targeted strategic asset allocation. In addition, cash may be held for the purposes of liquidity management and derivatives may be used to manage market exposure. |
